20:00 FRANCE - ROMANIA

France didn't have to qualify for the Euros thanks to the fact that they're hosting the tournament, so their only preparations for the tournament were friendlies. Although the games didn't necessarily have much at stake, it doesn't mean that the French are coming into the tournament unprepared. Didier Deschamp's men have faced a lot of the elite teams in Europe during the last couple of years and only lost once. That defeat came against England in the aftermath of the terror-attack on Paris, and the result of that game was the least important thing.

Romania's biggest strength in the Euros is their fantastic defence, who only conceded twice in the qualifiers. However, in the friendlies right before the tournament the Romanians seemed to forget how to defend, as they peculiarly lost to Ukraine 3-4. In their two other friendlies they played out a 1-1 draw with Kongo and thrashed Georgia 5-1.

The Romanians are definitely a side capable of causing problems to the highest bracket of teams in the tournament, so they shouldn't be underestimated. Despite this, there's no escaping the fact that if France can handle the pressure of the home crowd and play at their own level they should pick up all three points.

Romania will try to park the bus in front of their penalty box. However, the French possess a plethora of attacking talent to unlock even the steeliest defence. For example, Karim Benzema's replacement Olivier Giroud has shown good form in recent weeks, firing three goals in the last two friendlies. Giroud isn't famous for his concistency, but when he hits from there's no stopping him. It seems he's found some at the perfect time.

BETTING TIPS

Romania's defence hasn't performed like it did in the qualifiers in recent weeks, and now they face a free-flowing France side. If Romania manage to grab a goal it would be a surprise and the hosts are huge favourites for the win. The French will do all they can to give the home crowd something to cheer in the first game in the tournament. The overs are a tad too high and a goalfest and a French success look interesting. At first glance the best odds seem to be France -1.5 handicap, where a French win with a scoreline of 2-0 is enough.
